North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Opunake ▷
Opunake Lake Carpark, Opunake
4.5/5
A quiet spot not far from the town centre and with only a short walk to the beach.
It’s a level spot next to a lake. There is a small children’s playground and seating next to the lake. There was a drinking fountain so we filled up our water bottles. The toilet is basic but clean. Maybe worth taking your own paper.

5.0/5
What a fantastic place to park up for the night.
We were lucky with the weather and had fabulous views. It’s a huge car park but only really 3 level places to park up; Top right corner, Bottom of the car park and outside the toilets.
My advice is to check the weather forecast as you are high up and things can change rapidly. We had perfectly clear skys for sunset, but then total cloud cover so no stars.
